Firebird x Windows 7 x gds32.dll error

I have a fdb (firebird) file from a new client (he does not know the version). I tried using some GUI to access the database, but no luck. They all say that its missing gds32.dll, but I have this one.

I copied this dll to the GUI folder, I copied the dll to the system32 folder, and I copied it to syswow64. I am running 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and the Firebird database is 32 bits. I tried to install the dll, but I can not register it.

I installed WinXP in a virtual machine to make sure that it works, but nothing. Regsvr32 tells me that this is not an executable ... in Win 7, that this dll may not be compatible with the version of Windows.

I tried IbExpert Personal, Ibmanager and Flamerobin, and they show me the same error that the DLL was not found or not installed.

How to open this firebird db?

To access your database, you need a Firebird server. If you just want to access the data, then the easiest way would be:

  1. Grab the free FDBConvert utility and upgrade the database to Firebird 2.5 format
  2. Install Firebird 2.5 Server. Get settings from here . Use the Win32 version if your GUI tool is a 32-bit application. During installation, check the box "Create a client library as GDS32DLL to support legacy applications?".
  3. , Firebird .

  1. Firebird. gstat -h dbname.fdb. ODS. ODS Firebird. gstat .

Reinstall firebird and make sure you want to install the DLL for installation.

To fix Flamerobin - there is no gds32.dll or fbclient.dll problem: 1. Check which version of Firebird you are using - 32-bit or 64-bit? 2. Install 32-bit Flamerobin for 32-bit Firebird or 64-bit Flamerobin for 64-bit Firebird.

Installing the correct version solved my problem.

Hooray!
